What is a typical American shopping scenario? Amber: This is a neat shop. There are so many fashionable clothes here. Ethabella: It’s one of my favorite clothing stores. Check this out (holds up a skirt) Amber: That’s nice. How about this (points to a pant suit) Would this style look good on me? Ethabella: Sure would. Why don’t you try it. Amber: I think I will (motions to a waiting saleslady) Can I try this on? Saleslady: Yes. The dressing room is right over there (Amber goes to the dressing room, puts on the outfit, and steps out) Amber: (to Ethabella) How do I look? Does this make me look fat? Ethabella: No way. It really fits you well. Amber: I think I’ll buy it. How about you? Did you try on the skirt? Ethabella: Yeah. It fits OK, but I noticed a lovely blouse on the way to the dressing room. Unfortunately, it doesn’t match. (to the saleslady) Do you have this in other colors? (holding up the skirt) I need one that will go with the blouse. Saleslady: Yes, I believe we may have something for you . Let me check (goes to the skirt rack and returns with two skirts, the same style but different colors) I think either of these would go well with the blouse. Ethabella: This one is perfect. By the way, what material is this skirt made of? And is it machine-washable? Saleslady: It’s 80% cotton, 20% polyester, and yes, it is machine washable. Ethabella: OK, I’ll take both of them (hands the skirt and blouse to the saleslady) 让我们来看看在美国购物的典型场景吧。 Amber: 这间店不错嘛。衣服都挺流行的。 Ethabella: 这是我最喜欢的服装店之一。看看这件（举起一条短裙）。 Amber: 不错。这件怎么样？（指着一件女士套装）我穿这个会好看吗？ Ethabella: 当然好看。为什么不试一下？ Amber: 我也是这么想的。（向售货小姐示意）我可以试穿一下吗？ Saleslady: 可以。试衣间就在那儿。（Amber走进试衣间，穿上那套衣服后走了出来） Amber: ( 面向Ethabella) 看起来怎么样？我穿这个是不是显得有点胖呀？ Ethabella: 不会的。非常合身。 Amber: 我想买下它。你呢？你试了那件裙子了吗？ Ethabella: 试了。很合身，但是我在去试衣间的路上发现了一件非常漂亮的衬衫。说实话，看上去好像不那么合适。（面对着售货小姐）这个有其他颜色的吗？(举起那件短裙 ) 我需要一条和这件衬衫配套。 Saleslady: 可能有。让我看一看（走到挂裙子的架子那儿拿了两件款式相同颜色各异的裙子）我想这两件都可以和这件衬衫搭配。 Ethabella: 这条非常棒。顺便问一下，这条裙子是什么料子的？可以机洗吗？ Saleslady: 有80%的棉，20%的聚酯纤维，可以用洗衣机洗。 Ethabella: 好的，两件我都要了（把裙子和衬衫一同递给了售货小姐）。 （“本日”供稿：张仁庆） Don’t just think about it!
